hi robert,
What is in
/Applications/XDarwin.app/Contents/Resources/English.lproj/MainMenu.nib
(or the lproj for your language environment)?
Mine has two files, classes.nib and objects.nib.
as does mine ...
% ls -al
/Applications/XDarwin.app/Contents/Resources/English.lproj/MainMenu.nib
total 8
dr-xr-xr-x 4 root wheel 136 May 29 03:41 .
dr-xr-xr-x 7 root wheel 238 May 29 03:41 ..

MainMenu.nib/classes.nib
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root staff 99 May 30 22:17 objects.nib ->
../../../../../../../../xc/programs/Xserver/hw/darwin/bundle/English.lproj/
MainMenu.nib/objects.nib
I can't figure what the files might be redirecting to. Is it /../xc at the
root level? Seems wrong. I wonder also about permissions. Tiger seems to
want root:wheel for more things, but that may not extend to Application
bundles.
I have
ll /Applications/XDarwin.app/Contents/Resources/English.lproj/MainMenu.nib
total 28
-r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 2369 Mar 26 00:00 classes.nib
-r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 20829 Mar 26 00:00 objects.nib
I recall that the symlinking was the problem I had last year in getting
Xdarwin and X11 apps to work. The solution was to use the Xorg lndir method
to create a build tree then to replace build/programs/Xserver with
xc/programs/Xserver (i.e. cp -Rp ../xc/programs/Xserver ../programs from
within xorg/build) then make World.
What happens if you just copy the nib files into the final bundle (and any
other files that had their links copied instead of the files)? When I had
the problem
build/programs/Xserver/hw/darwin/bundle/English.lproj/MainMenu.nib/ had
links to non-existent files.
I built X11.app last on May 1, a few days after installing 10.4. There were
a few fatal errors related to declared externs that were defined as statics
and there was a problem with a header file no longer around (I believe).
But I did get 6.8.2 installed.
If you build Xorg the Xorg-recommended way in its own lndir (symlinked)
i have ...
tree, then neither X11.app nor Xdarwin.app will contain the nib files.
There are some other errors that may show up with X11.app without some
hand
patching. But the lack of nibs does not create an error recorded in
World.log.
yup, all clear.
If you haven't seen
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1032282&group_id=180
34&atid=318034 try there.
i have a while ago, and i've applied *both* the latest x11app.diff &
apple.tgz patches.
without them, XDarwin doesn't build at all on Tiger! (which was the case on
Panther as well, iirc).
WITH them, the problem (nib error on lauch) still exists
so, methinks its still something else ....
cheers,
richard
